LHS = RHS

Q.3: If one angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the other two angles, then the triangle is
(a) an isosceles triangle
(b) an equilateral triangle
(c) a right triangle
(d) an obtuse angled triangle

Correct Answer is Option (c)
The sum of the angles of triangle is 180^o.
let the angles of triangle be a, b, c
We have given that one angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the other two angles
so we have
c = a + b
a + b + c = 180^o
Substitute c for a + b
c + c = 180^o
2c = 180^o
c = 90^o
Therefore the triangle is a right triangle.

(a) 14
(b) -18
(c) 18
(d) -14

Correct Answer is Option (d)
x = 2, y = -2
x - y^x-y = 2 - (-2)^2-(-2)
= 2 - (-2)²⁺²
= 2 - (-2)⁴
= 2- (+16)
= 2 - 16
= -14

Q.6: The graph of the linear equation 2x + 3y = 6 cuts the y-axis at the point
(a) (2, 0)
(b) (3, 0)
(c) (0, 2)
(d) (0, 3)

Correct Answer is Option (c)
where x- coordinate is zero
2(0) + 3y = 6  ⇒ 3y = 6  ⇒ y = 6 + 3 = 2
So, (0,2) is the required point.

(a) 70^o
(b) 90^o
(c) 45^o
(d) 60^o

Correct Answer is Option (b)
In Triangle ABC
Let the sum of two angles = x
Therefore, the third angle = x  (Given)
Applying angle sum property
(sum of two angles) + (Third angle) = 180o
 x + x = 180°
 2x = 180°
 x = 180°/2
x = 90°
i.e Third angle = 90°

10 x - x = 2.222...-0.222...
9x = 2
x = 2/9

Q.22: The height corresponding to the longest side of the triangle whose sides are 42 cm, 34 cm and 20 cm in length is.
(a) 36 cm
(b) 15 cm
(c) 23 cm
(d) 16 cm

Correct Answer is Option (d)
Here, a = 42 cm, b = 34 cm and c = 20 cm
Therefore,  = 48
Area =
=
=
=
= 4 x 3 x 2 x 14
= 336 cm²

Longest side = 42 cm
⇒ b = 42 cm
Let h be the height corresponding to the longest side.
Area of the triangle = 1/2 x b x h
⇒ 1/2 x b x h = 336
⇒ 42  x h = 336 x 2
⇒ h = 336 x 2 / 42 = 16cm

Q.23: If we divide both sides of a linear equation with a non-zero number, then the solution of the linear equation

Here, x < 0 (i.e -ve) and y > 0, (i.e, +ve)
So in 2nd quadrant value of (x , y) is (-, +).
So the given point will lie in 2nd quadrant.

(a) 60 cm²
(b) 32.5 cm²
(c) 78 cm2²
(d) 30 cm²

Correct Answer is Option (d)
In the given triangle,
Base (BC) =  = 5 cm
Area of triangle ABC = 1/2 x BC x AB
= 1/2 x 5 x 12
= 30 sq. cm

Q.27: In ΔABC,  ∠A = 50^o,  ∠B = 60^o, Find the longest side of the triangle
(a) BC
(b) Cannot be determined
(c) CA
(d) AB

Correct Answer is Option (d)
By angle sum property, we have,
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
⇒ 50° + 60° + ∠C = 180°
⇒ ∠C = 180° - (50°+ 60°) = 70°
Therefore, C is the largest angle in the triangle and the side opposite to it i.e. AB is the longest side.

When we plot the given points in the graph paper then,
ΔAOB is the right angle triangle, where
OB = Base = 6 units
Height of triangle = OA = 6 units
∴ Area of ΔAOB = 1/2 x  OA x OB

⇒ Area of ΔAOB = 1/2 x 36
⇒ Area of ΔAOB = 18 sq units

(a) 45°
(b) 40°
(c) 10°
(d) 36°

Correct Answer is Option (b)
In the given figure we have
3Y + 2X = 180° (Linear - Pair)
X = 30°
3Y + 2  30° = 180°
3Y + 60° = 180°
3|Y = 180° - 60°
3Y = 120°
Y = 120°/3
Y = 40°

k = 17

Q.37: The sides BC, CA and AB of ΔABC have been produced to D, E and F respectively. ∠BAE + ∠CBF + ∠ACD = ?

(a) 240°
(b) 360°

We have :
∠1 + ∠BAE = 180°  ....(i)
∠2 + ∠CBF = 180°  ....(ii)
∠3 + ∠ACD = 180°  ....(iii)
Adding (i),(ii) and (iii), we get:
(∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3) + (∠BAE + ∠CBF + ∠ACD) = 540°
⇒ 180° + (∠BAE + ∠CBF + ∠ACD) = 540° [ ∴ ∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 = 180°]
⇒ ∠BAE + ∠CBF + ∠ACD = 540° - 180° = 360°
